FUNCTION

1. Cyclic Recording
Cyclic recording, sometimes called loop recording allows the camera to record until
the card is full and then start to overwrite the oldest recordings (except locked
recordings). We recommend setting this to 3 minutes which means the camera
saves the recordings in 3 minute chunks.

2. Motion Detection
When motion detection is turned on the camera can detect movement in front of
your car and start recording automatically. Note that this function will only work
while the camera is connected to external power.

3. G-SENSOR
When the G-Sensor is enabled the camera will automatically lock the current
recording (preventing it from being overwritten) if there is an external force like in
an accident.

4. Parking Wake
When Parking Wake is enable the camera will automatically turn on and start

recording if an impact to the car is detected such as someone bumping into the car

that this function will only work while the camera is connected to external power.
